two Rooms at each end. On the next Floor there are seven small Lodging Rooms, all private. The Ornaments of the Fronts are of Stone, and the rest of Brick.
PLATE LXVII.
The Plan, Upright and Section of a Building of the Dorick Order, in form of a Temple, made for a Person of Quality, and propos'd to have been placed in the Center of four Walks; so that a Portico might front each Walk. Here is a large Octagonal Room of 22 feet and 26 feet high, adorn'd with Niches and crown'd with a Cupola. All the Ornaments of the Inside are to be of Plaister, and the Outside of Stone.
PLATE LXVIII.
A Design of a Building for the Right Honourable the Earl of Oxford's Bowling-Green at Down-Hall in Essex. I have here given two Plans, a Front and Section of it; that on the right hand is the Ground-Plan; the Middle part to be open, for shelter in case of Rain, having a Closet on one side, and a Stair-case on the other. Over this Plan is the Front: The Rustick Arcade. Coines, Niches, Venetian Window, and Modillion-Cornish to be of Stone. The Plan upon the left shews the Story one pair of Stairs, wherein there is a Room of 27 feet by 20, and 25 feet high, having a Closet, or little Withdrawing-Room, within it of 10 by 20 feet. There are two Venetian Windows to the great Room, and one at each end of the Building which light the Closet and the Stair-case.
PLATE LXIX.
Two other Pavillions propos'd for the same place; the one is an Octagon Room of 30 feet, with a Closet on one side, and on the other a Stair-case, which leads to the Waiting-Rooms underneath. The other is a Cube of 25 feet, having a Waiting Room on one side, and a Closet on the other. The Fronts of both were to be plain Brick-wirk, the Cornish, Window-cases and Door-cases to be of Stone.
